Even though Crane Cams is no longer in business, their website is still up and working and has all of the instructions and diagrams.  I have a xr750 that came with the car that works ok but much better with a msd unit. They had the instructions for installing both.  The xr750 didn't make the car start or run much better than what I imagine the points would do , but I don't think the car would start at all if wired wrong. You are going to have to experiment with plug gaps and  timing.  Did the mechanic remove the vacuum advance mechanism and block the vacuum ports as is needed?  I would first visit the crane cams site/technical/ignitions and read up on the unit. It sounds like something else may be wrong.

keep us posted
